What is Dual Audio?

Dual audio refers to an audio setup where an anime or movie contains multiple language tracks. In the case of anime, this typically means the presence of both English-dubbed and Japanese-dubbed versions within the same file. This allows viewers to switch between the original Japanese voice acting and an English dub, depending on their preference.

How to Use Dual Audio

Many anime files that support dual audio provide the option to switch between English and Japanese dubs. Additionally, subtitle tracks are often included, so you can watch in Japanese with English subtitles if you prefer the original voice acting.

Using Windows 10 Movies & TV Player

1. Open the anime file using the Movies & TV player.
2. Play the video and check if there are multiple audio options.
3. If available, select between English and Japanese dubs.
4. If you're using the Japanese dub, enable subtitles for better understanding.

Using VLC Media Player

VLC Media Player provides more advanced options for managing audio tracks and subtitles. Here's how:

1. Open the anime file in VLC.
2. Go to the upper left corner and find the “Audio” menu.
3. Click on “Audio Track” and select your preferred language.
4. To enable subtitles, navigate to the “Subtitle” menu and choose the appropriate track.
5. Alternatively, you can right-click on the player screen and select audio and subtitle options from the menu.

Common Issues with Dual Audio Anime

1. Missing Subtitles: If subtitles are not displaying when you select Japanese dub, manually enable the subtitle track from your media player’s menu.
2. Incorrect Audio Selection: Sometimes, the default track might not be your preferred language. Ensure you manually change it within the player settings.
3. File Compatibility: Some media players may not support dual audio properly. If you experience issues, try using VLC or another dedicated media player with advanced codec support.
